Anyone know of a pocket/IWB hybrid holster?

[surferdaddy]

I have recently acquired an LC9. Being a "bigger" guy, I can almost always front pocket carry it with no real issues, however, it would be nice to have a IWB option as well. So, does anyone know of a hybrid holster, perhaps something with a recessed or a removable clip that would be a good pocket holster as well as an IWB? I know that there are "clipless" models which are really tacky pocket holsters which are not supposed to work loose from the waistband. I've even tried my Blackhawk size 3 IWB, but it invariably works loose.

Thanks

Can it be done? Probably. Is it a good solution? No. It's worth the money to invest in two separate holsters. A Desantis Superfly is the best pocket holster I've tried - works great for my LCP and my 740 Slim:

The Cross Breed super tuck is the best IWB I've ever tried:

The only problem w/ the Super Tuck is that after you've worn it for a while, you realize with a holster this nice, you could really tote a bigger gun if you wanted to and before you know it you're back in the gunshop scoping out the XD subcompacts....

I've seen guys use those cheap Uncle Mike's nylon IWB holsters with a clip. The guy stuck it and a 1911 in his front pocket.

Not for me, though. I'd get a dedicated holster for your planned use.

I agree, the best solution would be 2 dedicated holsters. I often must change attire midday and thought having only one holster in tow would have simplified my life a bit. Thanks for the replies, they are certainly true enough and I have scoped the holsters you speak of many times. I would love to find a holster in which I could carry (and conceal) my stainless S&W 645 but I don't think I ever will. So for now, I'll stick with my lc9; at least for a little while.

Most attempts to make a single item - not just holsters - perform multiple functions result in not working well for any function.
